“Acquire Wisdom”
Blessings folk!
The Father continues to drive home the point, now to his “sons”.
Repeatedly.
Strongly.
Forcibly he reiterates the truth.
Pursue/acquire Wisdom.
Gain Understanding.
Pro 4:1-9
Listen, my sons, to the instruction of a father,
And pay attention so that you may gain understanding,
For I give you good teaching;
Do not abandon my instruction.
When I was a son to my father,
Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,
He taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart take hold of my words;
Keep my commandments and live;
Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
“Do not abandon her, and she will guard you;
Love her, and she will watch over you.
“The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom;
And with all your possessions, acquire understanding.
“Prize her, and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.
“She will place on your head a garland of grace;
She will present you with a crown of beauty.”
Give heed to the action!
